Fix problem with systems with more than 2 GB memory (notably,
x86_64-based systems). Thanks Goswin Brederlow.

Bump PKGREVISION.
pkglint cleanup while here.
stage2/disk_io.c: adjust the partition start and size by RF_PROTECTED sectors for partitions of type FS_RAID.
stage2/fsys_ffs.c: accept partitions of type FS_RAID as candidates for FFS, too.
stage2/fsys_ufs2.c: accept partitions of type FS_RAID as candidates for FFSv2, too.
This allows grub to directly boot from NetBSD RAID1 partitions the same way
as with the native bootloader.

Bump PKGREVISION to 1. From Piotr Meyer in PR pkg/30834.
As GRUB 0.x is in maintenance-only status now, I assume there is no
chance to get them incorporated mainstream. We'll keep them here
though, as they seem useful (could have really helped me in some
situations when needing to boot single user).
* Support building on x86-64 with gcc -m32.
* Use a BIOS call to turn on/off Gate A20. This should solve various
problems related to Gate A20 in modern BIOSes.
* Add a workaround for buggy BIOSes (notably HP Vectra series) which
don't pass the boot drive correctly.
* Display "GNU GRUB" instead of "GRUB" in the menu.
* Add support for QNX RTP into the grub shell.
* Add support for the initrd max address of a kernel header in Linux.
* Support 32 bit and 64 bit dev_t.
* Add support for an install device in GRUB's notation with no
parenthesis (e.g. grub-install hd0).
* Improve the manual a lot.
While here, add a new build definition, GRUB_PRESET_COMMAND, which can be
set to a single command that will be embedded in grub's stage2 and executed
during bootup (useful for automated diskless setups). Also make use of
BUILD_DEFS properly. And pick up maintainership, as requested by tron@.
(Forward patch from the fix that finally went into grub's CVS)
The old way had problems finding disks and formatting curses output properly.
Fixes PR pkg/24214.
1) remove superfluous long in stage2/fsys_reiserfs.c (forward port from
current version in grub CVS)
2) provide an explicit memcpy stub so the memcpy inserted by gcc3 as
consequence of a pass-by-value can be linked against (patch from
Joachim Kainz in grub bug report 3343)
While here, convert to USE_NEW_TEXINFO, and make it compile.
[freestanding, but using nested functions; gcc emits __enable_exec_stack,
which lives in libgcc, but is not linked because the program is supposed
to be freestanding. Provide dummy __enable_exec_stack function.]
Bump PKGREVISION.
* Define the behavior of the boot loader when the load end address is
zero and the bss end address is zero in the Multiboot Specification.
Also, add the support into GRUB.
* Finally, we have a Bug Tracking System! Now the preferable way to
report bugs is to use the BTS rather than sending e-mail to bug-grub.
See <http://bugcomm.enbug.org/?project=grub&mode=project>, for more
details.
* The appendix "FAQ" in the manual is removed. See the GNU GRUB FAQ on
the web <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.html> instead.
* The terminal handling code is rewritten radically, and many bugfixes
are made at the same time.
* The command "color" is effective even in the command-line.
* The command "terminal" takes two new options, ``--no-echo'' and
``--no-edit''. If you specify ``--no-echo'', GRUB won't echo back
input characters. If you specify ``--no-edit'', GRUB will disable the
BASH-like editing feature. These options are useful when using an
intelligent terminal (such as the comint mode in GNU Emacs).
* The utility ``grub-md5-crypt'' prompts to retype a password and checks
if the passwords match.
* Support for booting Linux is rewritten, so GRUB now supports
large-EBDA systems.
* The menu interfaces supports Page Up, Page Down, and Right Key.
* New command "terminfo", for vt100-incompatible terminals.
* New options, ``-D'', ``-g'' and ``-m'' are supported for FreeBSD.
